Responsible Gaming What it is and why it matters

Responsible gaming means keeping betting a controlled part of your entertainment — not the center of your life. At 88bt, we believe every player should have the ability to manage their own budget, time, and emotions.

Many people in Bangladesh see online betting as an easy way to earn money — this is a misconception. Betting is a form of entertainment, and like any entertainment, it should have its limits. Chasing losses with more bets, or reinvesting to recover a deficit — these are early signs of problem gambling.

88bt's responsible gaming program helps you make informed decisions. We want you to walk away smiling after every session — win or lose.

How do you know when you need a break?

If you notice any of the following, it is time to stop:

  • Placing more bets in an attempt to recover lost money
  • Betting feels more important than family or work
  • Feeling restless or irritable when trying to stop betting
  • Betting with borrowed money or by dipping into savings
  • Lying to people close to you about your betting
Keep in Mind: Consistent earnings from betting are not realistic. Every bet carries risk. Only wager money that you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.

Our Protection Tools

88bt gives you full control over your own play

Set a deposit limit

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately, and any increase requires a 7-day waiting period.

Set a Time Limit

Set how long you spend on the platform each day. When your time is up, you will receive an automatic alert and your session will be closed if needed.

Cooling-Off Period

Pause your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, all betting and deposits will be completely suspended.

Self-Exclusion

Close your account completely for a period of 6 months to 5 years. Once self-exclusion is active, it cannot be lifted before the selected period ends.

Activity review

View your betting history, win/loss records, and session details at any time. Knowing your numbers is the first step toward making smarter decisions.

Age Verification System

Age verification is mandatory when registering at 88bt. No one under 18 is permitted to use the platform — this is a strict policy we enforce without exception.

Responsible Gaming The Golden Rule

These guidelines, shaped by the experience of thousands of active 88bt players, will keep betting enjoyable every time:

  • Set a Budget First: At the start of each month, decide how much you are comfortable spending on entertainment. Never go beyond that budget.
  • Do Not Try to Chase Lost Money: Don't chase losses by placing more bets after a losing session.
  • Take regular breaks: Take at least a 10–15 minute break every hour.
  • No Betting Under the Influence or on Impulse: Bet with a clear head and a calm mind.
  • Do Not Treat Betting as a Source of Income: This is entertainment, not an investment.
  • Let your family know: Letting someone close to you know keeps you accountable.
Tips: Before you start betting, ask yourself — "How much can I afford to lose today?" Set that amount, then begin.

Problem Betting Understanding & Coping

Problem betting or gambling addiction is a mental health condition — not a moral failing. It develops gradually, and the person affected often does not realise it themselves. As part of responsible gambling, 88bt is committed to raising awareness on this issue.

Understanding how betting addiction works is important. Winning triggers a dopamine release in the brain, creating a feeling of pleasure. Over time, however, bigger risks are needed to achieve the same feeling — and that cycle is what leads to addiction.

Advice for family members

If someone close to you seems to have a betting problem:

  • Talk Without Judgment: Express your concerns without anger or blame.
  • Stop enabling financially: Lending money for betting only makes the problem worse.
  • Seek professional help: Seek advice from a mental health professional.
  • Also watch out for yourself: Addiction affects family members too.

Financial recovery advice

If you have suffered financial loss from betting, take action immediately:

  • Activate self-exclusion on all your betting accounts.
  • Lower your daily transaction limit on your mobile banking app.
  • Hand financial responsibility over to a trusted family member.
  • Speak with a debt management specialist.
Keep in Mind: Acknowledging the problem takes courage. 88bt is always ready to support your recovery.

Frequently FAQ

The most frequently asked questions about responsible gaming

Yes, once self-exclusion is activated, you can still withdraw your existing balance. However, no new bets or deposits will be permitted once it takes effect. Please contact our support team to process your withdrawal.

Reducing your deposit limit takes effect immediately. If you want to increase it, there is a 7-day waiting period after submitting your request. This delay is intentional — to prevent impulsive decisions.

No, absolutely not. 88bt strictly enforces an 18+ policy. Age is verified during registration using a national ID card or passport. Any account found to belong to a minor is closed immediately.

A cooling-off period is a temporary break lasting from 24 hours up to 30 days, after which your account is automatically reactivated. Self-exclusion is a longer-term measure — from 6 months up to 5 years — and cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends.

No, only the account holder can activate self-exclusion. However, if you are concerned about someone else's betting habits, please contact our support team — we will assess the situation and provide guidance.

No. Under 88bt's policy, users who are on self-exclusion or a cooling-off period will not receive any promotional SMS, emails, or app notifications. This is part of our responsible marketing commitment.
